I loved it and I recomend it to everyone between 12 and 35 :D

I have a new website where my reviews are posted at first SLAVE TO BOOKS
So, I'll start off by saying that I totally enjoyed it. The character was believable for me. I live in New York. (I actually met the author at a writer's conference hosted by Dowling College. Ha!) There are, in my opinion, not enough mystery books for teenagers anymore. With everyone being obsessed with the paranormal (myself included), there is a huge gap in books. So, when people related this to things like Gossip Girl mee...more

Today I'm reviewing a book received from Netgalley, Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor.
Prep School Confidential is the story of Anne Dowling a 16 year old prep school queen bee. Anne can talk her way out of anything. If that doesn't work, there's always petty breaking and enteringpicking the lock to the headmaster's office to remove anything too incriminating. None of which really matters once you burn down your prep school. Well, technically it was j...more

I guarantee that once you start, you won’t want to put PREP SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL down. (In other words, clear your calendar, grab a mug of tea and turn off your phone!)
PSC introduces us to Anne Dowling. She’s one of the funniest, snarkiest, cleverest, kindest and bravest girls you’ll meet in YA fiction. I found myself laughing out loud at various times throughout the book and pulling for her the entire time. I loved that she had flaws, but that her character evolved throughout the book.

This was a lot of fun. Anne is a smart, snarky girl who seems to get in trouble at every turn and knows how to pick a lock. She very much reminded me of Blair Waldorf: a girl who goes after what she wants, regardless of what is right or what rules need to be broken.
I'm a sucker for a smart girl, so it was enjoyable to read a story with a MC who didn't have to rely on a boy to get anything done.
I will definitely be reading the next one.

Finally, FINALLY I've come across a fresh book to help me get out of a reading slump. If you love characters with sass and a fun, witty voice backed by a mystery intrigue, then Prep School Confidential is for you.
At it's core, I was intrigued by the mystery that surrounds this book. Murder mystery at a prep school, to be specific. How awesome is that? Don't even deny it. We all played Clue when we were younger.
I can honestly say I had no idea who did what and where and when and why. Taylor kep...more

Saw this described as Gossip Girl meets Twin Peaks.
Since I have an unhealthy addiction to Gossip Girl and have recently become obsessed with Twin Peaks I think I need to read this.

There really isn't enough Young Adult mysteries out there, so I'm all for this.

I wanna read this badly!
